Hi,
I'm refering to the letter from Mr. Anthony Nugent, from 25/2, which I received today.
I don't want to be unreasonable, and I don't want to have a threath of being thrown out, hanging over my head, (since this is stressing I think, and I haven't got anywhere else to live), so I'm going to say it's ok, that the Housing Benefit is being sent to the landlord, since I have a high level of arrears.
But, the reason for this, is because I was underpaid, when I worked as self-employed, on behalf of Packaging Europe, in Norwich, a few years ago.
And also because my landlord is very slow, with doing repairs.
They use like one or two years to fix the boiler, and many months to fix the washing-machine.
I'll just get by on my budget, but what am I going to do the next time e.g. the washing-machine breaks down, I'm wondering.
But that's a different case, I guess.
So I'll just contact the Council again then, about disrepair, if that continues.
Because I've had to buy a washing-machine, and dis-washers, (since it's only one sink in the kitchen, so I thought it was un-hygienic, not to have a dis-washer here, when I moved in, because that sink is for waste-water, and then shouldn't be used for cleaning dishes in I think, it's also very dirty and someone have tried to cut their wrists in it, I think, because the plastic-sink has knife-cuts, several of them, in it).
So I've had tu buy washing-machines and dish-washers and furniture, (since the flat wasn't that well furnitured, even if it was supposed to be), and also electric heaters, from Argos, since the wall-mounted heaters here don't work.
I've been living here for almost five years now, and the landlord haven't inspected for things that needs to be repaired, of lights and heaters in the bath-room etc.
But I haven't got anywhere else to live, so I'm going to say it's ok with this arrangement, that the landlord gets my housing benefit sent from the Council.
Because I don't want to live under the treath of being thrown out, that's a bit stressing, I think.
So I also send a copy of this e-mail to the landlord.
I'm going to send you the form, about the noise from G-bar, to the Council, one of the next days.
I also wonder why I haven't got any documentation, from the inspector, from the Council, who was here, 3 or 4 weeks ago, regarding the inspection of disrepair, from this landlord.
Thank you again for your letter, and sorry about that I got angry, when I read your last letter, if I happened to use any bad language, I try not to do that.
Sorry again!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
